Vernon graduated from Albemarle High School in 1955 where he played baseball and basketball. He earned a BS degree from Bridgewater College and was a three year letter winner in track.  After college, he served in the Virginia National Guard.

Vernon was preceded in death by his wife, Violet, “Vi,” Maxwell Maupin who passed away in 2004. Vernon and Vi are survived by Vi’s daughters and Vernon’s loving stepdaughters and their husbands, Susan C. Beatty (Scott) of Reston, VA and Jennifer C. Story (Danny) of Stanardsville, VA; two step-granddaughters, Samantha and Betsy Ulrope; and a step-great granddaughter, Savannah Lam, all of Stanardsville, VA.

Vernon sold real estate early in his career and was named Charlottesville’s Rookie of the Year during his first year. Later, he owned and operated Wayne’s Country Store on the Scottsville Road and worked for many years at Toddsbury of Ivy.  

Vernon loved baseball, and was an umpire for more than 40 years. He officiated over thousands of games in leagues ranging from church softball to college baseball. His most memorable moment was when he attended Sandy Koufax’s perfect game in Dodger stadium in 1965. He loved to read, and collected thousands of books.

Vernon’s family would like to extend their gratitude to Theresa Martin and other staff and volunteers of the Hospice of the Piedmont, and the caring and supportive staff of Evergreene Meadows in Stanardsville for the special jobs they do. They would also like to recognize the members of the Mechanicsville Baptist Church of Boswell Tavern as well as Joe Hicks, Tom Kincaid, Jill Montgomery and Vernon’s many other friends and relatives for their help and attention over the last few months.

A memorial service followed by a reception will be held at the Mechanicsville Baptist Church at 3pm on August 20, 2011. Vernon is a participant in the Virginia Anatomical Donor and made the generous donation of his body for study and research in medical science so there will be no internment.

I remember Courtlandt at Albemarle High School.  He always enjoyed playing his sports.  Courtlandt was always a very quiet person but when you initiated the conversation, he was very friendly and talkative.  I don't remember ever hearing him saying anthing bad about anyone.

Courtlandt attended the Albemarle High School Alumni Association "A Night To Remember" on May 13, 2011 to honor Benjamin Hurt who was Principal when Courtlandt graduated in 1955.  Soon after he was diaognosed with lung cancer.   To Courtlandt's brother Stan, who I know well and who is instrimental in having this website, and other family members, I wish you the very best and encourage you to remember the good times in the life of Vernon Courtlandt Maupin.
